Hillary Says VA’s Problems Aren’t As ‘Widespread’ As Republi

[noreally]

She has really gone off the rails with this. I see if she is elected that vets will be pushed into the background and left with very little resolution when it comes to care.

To try and turn this into a political strategy is disgusting.

Hillary Clinton brushed off the complaints voiced by many veterans over the Department of Veterans Affairs’ backlog and health care scandal when she said on Friday that the problems plaguing the agency are not as “widespread” as they have been made out to be by Republicans, who the Democratic presidential candidate said are pushing the issue in pursuit of an “ideological agenda.”

Clinton was asked about the VA’s backlog issues during an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. The host pointed out that many Republicans have pushed the idea of privatizing the VA. She said that the proposal resonates because the problems with the VA system appear intractable and “can’t get fixed fast enough.”

She has a point. The VA problems seem to be confined only to places that have VA hospitals or clinics. She simply doesn't care. She has never had much use for our military people.

If there was any real change to the VA system it would have to start with accountability. So far only 3 people have been put on "administrative leave", and nobody fired. How do you change a system that's invulnerable to threats to job security?

She's protecting part of her base, federal union employees.

Bill Clinton's wife and everyone around her despises the military so I don't expect a lot of concern there.

Plus she has to show-somehow- that this admin is not responsible for the shape its in...its not in TOO bad of shape.
Yeah, right.

[cornhusker]

She'd rather lie and cover up problems than try to fix anything.

Her divisive tactic will lock up any progress in party bickering.

I seem to remember someone saying something like: "What difference does it make?"

This excuse sounds vaguely similiar.....

Let me answer that question for ya gurl.... "It makes a LOT of difference!!!"
And you're a (d e s p i c a b l e) human being for thinking otherwise...

We will not forget what happened to those who asked for your help in Benghazi, but were refused;
neither will we allow you to forget our vets who are asking for help NOW...but you want to play partisian politics with their lives.
